I’m a big fan of classic rock (the kind of music that kids today might call “old-people music”).

Picking a favorite band from the golden era of rock is an impossible task, but The Beatles are high on my list.

So instead of just sending you a typical email asking for your Help! taking on the MAGA Majority in the new Congress, I thought I’d take the scenic route down Penny Lane. Care to join me?

Practically Eight Days A Week, I wish Congress could Come Together to tackle big challenges. Just Imagine all we could accomplish.

But then some Fool on the Hill will say something like, “It’s snowing outside, therefore climate change is a myth!”

And I’m back to square one.

I’m not going to convince the GOP that democracy is a great idea, or that hitching their wagon to President Mean Mr. Mustard is a bad one. I’m not going to convince them to care about science, or to take on the NRA or the fossil fuel industry. I say the submarine is yellow, they say it’s purple.

So what’s my secret to staying sane in this Clown Show Congress?

I follow The Beatles’ example: I Let It Be, ignore the peanut gallery, and focus on All I’ve Got To Do for the people I was elected to serve.

No matter who controls Congress, my mission remains the same: building a better future for the next generation. But it sure helps to have some resources in our back pocket for a rainy day.

So, not to put too fine a point on it, but: Money (That's What I Want). If you’ve got a few bucks to spare, I’d greatly appreciate your support.

I’ll get by With A Little Help From My Friends.

Cheers,
Sean Casten
